Allotting Life Time

A day has 24 hours, 16 of which we are usually awake. Europeans can expect to live to the age of 85. In principle, we thus have more than half a million hours at our disposal that we can allot at our discretion. If you come to repent having spent your life at your desk, not having dedicated enough time to your friends and family, on your deathbed, it'll be too late. Why not allot time to certain activities without being walked by laziness, greed, the craving for recognition, hunger for success, or a blind desire to consume?

We appreciate food. We appreciate the water, land, energy, money and human labor, that is utilized to produce food. Therefore, we made this short video to show the waste of food in a supermarket daily.

The balance between taking care of the family, and earning enough money to have a “successful” life, has become a dilemma that most families have to face. In order to raise the children with the values that people want them to have, sometimes it is necessary to invest a lot of time, and companies do not allow their workers to have this free time.

According to the data that the National Health Interview Survey Occupational Health Supplement released in 2010,16% of United States workers reported difficulty balancing work and family, and almost 50% of workers were likely to take the stress that they get in their jobs, and bring it into their homes.

Why we wear not only jeans, but also the blood of thousands of people.

Jeans have to be hip, jeans have to be cheap and we cannot get enough of them. But what remains for the factory workers and the environment after buying Jeans for sometimes less than 10 Euros?

Even nowadays jeans are produced under poor social and ecological conditions particularly in China and Southeast-Asia. The factories there produce this mass product for nearly all labels like H&M, KIK, and any more except some high-price labels. Also from the ecological point of view the jeans production causes dangerous consequences. The high water consumption and the usage of toxic chemical substances, especially during the production of used looking jeans, cause a horrible ecological balance.

Yesterday teddy bear in their arms, today they are mothers. Also nowadays in our well sexual-explained times teeniepregnancies are not rare. Since five years the booming tendency is stopped, but we can also not speak from a reduction.

A study about this topic from “pro familia” and the Institute of sexual research from the University Hamburg in Germany says, that nowadays more and more of the 15 to 20 years old girls become pregnant - that means currently round 3 percent of all girls less than 20 years in Germany. (Is the girl less than 20 years, we speak from a teeniepregnancy)

Story of stuff is a web documental by Anine Leonard released in 2007. The main questions in discussion are: Where do products come from, and where do they go when people throw them away? Why people get an obsession with products, it doesn’t matter if they really need them?
